I just installed Crystal Reports XI on a windows box (XP) with a local Oracle 10G DB.
Everything went well and I was able to create a Data Source with no problem and had completed creating my first CR report within 5 minutes.
A very intuitive interface.
I know want to install Crystal Reports on a new machine that does not have a local db and I have not found a way to connect to a remote Oracle DB without having to install the Oracle DB client. I was looking at thread784-1275537 and it mentioned some other ways to do this via ODBC for the purists...
Would this involve purchasing a 3rd party odbc driver? I was unable to connect to the Oracle DB with the default MS driver provided.
Thanks for any leads on this.
